Rainbow at Niagara Falls by taffy

Rainbow at Niagara Falls

I hope I don't miss my flight posting this! I had a great time at the Falls and will add more later. I thought I'd post one of the images from my morning at the falls yesterday. This is at the end of Horseshoe Falls, on the U.S. side, looking down into the incredible energy of the churning water. A rainbow had just come out, the mist was soft but getting thicker, and I went for a long exposure to try to turn the water into one smooth flow.

Update later in the day -- I did make the flight (barely) but almost left my computer sitting on the table! Then, got home to find this on PP. This has turned into a wonderful day, even if it did start at 4:30 in the morning!
wow! just beautiful :)

Stunning capture...
June 30th, 2013  
Beautiful capture. Love the silkiness of the water and the rainbow. You wrote Niagra, is that the same as Niagara?
June 30th, 2013  
@anazad511 Oops!! Just got home and am going through my 365 comments/notes so THANK YOU for catching the typo! I've been spelling it that way all day. UGH...too little sleep and trying to post to fast. Tried to fix it wherever I did it. Thanks for the kind comments about the photo too (more importantly).
June 30th, 2013  
@stimuloog Thank you so much Marloes...it was the week anniversary and I love the idea that the rainbow was for her. So lovely for you to say this.
June 30th, 2013  
holy cow! this is spectacular! beautifully done... and so glad you didn't miss your plane
July 1st, 2013  
Oh. My. Goodness. Just breathtaking. INCREDIBLE job! (Hope you get your computer back though!)
July 1st, 2013  
Jo
Outstanding, instant fav.
July 1st, 2013  
SO glad you made your flight AND that this hit the PP! It is magnificent! They need a "double fav" button for shots like this! And it would count as two favs! Hee hee Lovely! I love how you can see both the top as the water goes over and the bottom, all rough and churning...fabulous job!
July 1st, 2013  
@espyetta Hi MaryBeth! Thanks for the great comment -- you are so sweet!! And it makes me even more happy with this shot.
Alexis' program is really easy. Just do a copy paste changing my @ contact to yours. It would look like this, I think: http://alexisbirkill.com/365project/popularpage/getuserdetails.php?username=espyetta
Okay -- I just tried it and it works.
July 1st, 2013  
Wow, this is gorgeous!
July 1st, 2013  
@archaeofrog Thanks Katie -- I didn't leave the computer -- almost. I was all packed up, walking away, looked back to see that I hadn't forgotten anything, and there was my computer! I should never get up before dawn...clearly affects my cognition!
July 1st, 2013  
@taffy So cool! Thanks! My friend Tara told me about the program he wrote, but I had forgotten about it. Thanks!
July 1st, 2013  
@taffy it shows some of them...maybe the most recent ones I think? So it won't show all of them? Just curious, I started tagging mine recently...since I do that end of the year video, and would like to know which ones were on the PP or TT.
July 1st, 2013  
@espyetta Maybe you have too many for the program to handle!! I think all of mine show up on the list, but I haven't actually looked to see if that's the case. I thinking tagging it is a great idea as it would make them easy to find. I've just started keeping a list -- amazing to me it is even a list! I wrote it down the first time but was fairly sure it was a fluke and would never happen again.
July 1st, 2013  
FAv! This is a wonderful long exposure... and the colors are gorgeous!
July 1st, 2013  
cool
July 1st, 2013  
Fav - that is all!

July 1st, 2013  
This is gorgeous!!
July 1st, 2013  
@taffy OK, pfew! Traveling warps the brain.
July 1st, 2013  
@fueast Oh, my camera did keep getting wet -- without warning, it would suddenly feel like it was raining, only it was actually sudden bursts of mist from the falls. As soon as it would start, I'd scrunch over to protect it!
July 1st, 2013  
Fantastic Taffy, fave!
July 1st, 2013  
Amazing! This is so fabulous I can't say. FAV!

Gosh, thank you all so much for such wonderful comments about this shot. I have learned so much from everyone that is reflected in this shot -- exposure, balance, processing, composition, lighting, why a tripod is so important, etc. I'm excited that it has been so well received.
July 2nd, 2013  
This is amazing! Like fabric.
July 2nd, 2013  
@carolinedreams Thanks so much Caroline!
July 2nd, 2013  
Stunning shot!!!!
July 2nd, 2013  
Long exposure really captures the fluidity and you have the rest in a nice sharp focus.
July 2nd, 2013  
@darylo Long exposure is one of the settings/skills I feel I've come to understand so much better because of 365 and a useful get pushed challenge. Thanks for noting it!
July 2nd, 2013  
Love this capture too! FAV!
July 2nd, 2013  
This is amazing! Wow! Fav!

@espyetta I didn't even know! This is exciting! Thanks for letting me know -- there are some amazing shots in this group so it's cool to be part of it.
July 4th, 2013  
@amandal Thanks Amanda -- I didn't even know it was in there! Pretty exciting!!
July 4th, 2013  
@taffy I figured you'd be so excited to make finalists in the theme. I have never made a 5 finalist list for a main theme on 365. One that Ross chooses, I mean. That is SUCH an honor!
July 4th, 2013  
@espyetta I know!! I just never ever expected to have learned so much and to see this happen. It's Nutmeg's legacy to me...silly as that sounds. It really does mean so much.
July 4th, 2013  
Awesome shot, must have been amazing to see in real life!
July 4th, 2013

Thank you so much ZL,Pam, Rosie, Colie, Ross, Lunaksi, Arefin, Al, and Ana! Catherine, you're so right -- when I was pushing to get it posted rather than running to my flight, it must have been because I sense it was special (or I'm looney!). I so appreciate the way you've followed and supported me. This TT does mean a lot to me!
